A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

This is why Hexbear calls y'all Nazis, you realize.

Well, that and the paychecks from the Kremlin.

isn't it making fun of Nazis?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's a short story about a Nazi soldier with a time machine stumbling on the Ukrainian advance and thinking, great, he finally gets to kill some more Slavs and win this time.

It's just not a good look, and there wasn't a hint of mockery unless you go five tiers deep in community meta irony poisoning that still just leaves you with a comment favorably comparing Ukrainians to Nazis.

oh, I read it as the stupid nazi being stupid and thinking Germany won. the punchline being that as soon as he goes into the train he'll realize how wrong he is and have a breakdown.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

You read it correctly but I'm hoping he rides the train with his newfound comrades. He doesn't understand the language but he knows who they are fighting. He marvels at screens and drones as he makes it to the front line. Then dies valiantly fighting fascism.

Yes, that was around my intention. The whole picture/video looks like a comedy sketch, it just inspired me to make up some shit about what a nazi soldier would think looking at it. But as one my my fav teachers taught me, humor is indeed subjective, so I probably should have made the joke clearer at the end (e.g. the nazi soldier getting hit my a car, or arrested by the police for his uniform)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

To be fair now I see how it can be (mis)understood that way, especially if e.g. a tankie is looking for a chance to call us nazis. Though I have a feeling that they would call us that regardless. Also posted my “official” explanation, as requested by a mod: https://lemmy.world/comment/11839482
